What is a Judicial Review for an ILR Refusal?
Judicial Review is a legal process where UK courts exercise a supervisory power over the decisions made by public bodies, including UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). Even if a refusal letter states that there is no right of appeal, a Judicial Review may still be an available option to challenge the lawfulness of UKVI’s decision.
Being accused of having a flawed character or being a threat to national security can be a deeply distressing experience.

A Client’s Experience
Frequently Asked Questions About Judicial Review for ILR Refusals
A Judicial Review is the legal process for challenging a public body’s decision—in this case, UKVI’s decision to refuse an ILR application. It is not an appeal; instead, it examines the lawfulness of how the decision was made. Even if a refusal letter says there is no right of appeal, Judicial Review may still be an option.
A Judicial Review is only available in cases where UKVI has potentially acted unlawfully. There is a strict three-month time limit from the date of the refusal to initiate a Judicial Review. The process begins with the Pre-Action Protocol stage, where we send a detailed legal letter to the Home Office outlining the case and giving them an opportunity to settle. If this is unsuccessful, we then make a formal application to the court. It is crucial to work with a solicitor with a strong track record, as an unsuccessful case can result in you paying UKVI’s legal costs.
